This forum has the exact same argument every day about people claiming they would overthrow the government, and others remind them that the government would likely win.
Is that like the times everyone thought the mighty US would win easily in Vietnam, Afghanistan? LOL

You and 3 of your buddies deciding to rebel are not equal to Vietnam.

He's soooooo generous. He'll give you $1,000. Still won't cover the cost of many a "military-style assault weapon".

This quote will not play well if the clown decides to run for President.
Yep, Congressman E. Nuke’em Swalwell just shot himself in the foot... and his presidential bid in the head!

I make my own for $250-$350 depending on options.
An M-16 trigger group is easy to make, if you have the tools.
Or you can buy one and install it yourself in your AR lower, for as little as $50.
Here is one for $75.

Mandatory GUN BUY BACKS are Confiscation, and BANS. That's exactly what Hillary was advocating. First of all the government can't buy back my guns. They never gave them to me in the first place. What he is advocating is giving arbitrary compensation for private property that I LEGALLY BOUGHT to FORCIBLY take them away. That is TYRANNY. Pure, and simple.

How unhinged are right wing gun nuts anyway? Spend more time reading real books and less guns and ammo.

Looks like the congressman tried to have a respectful conversation with a crackpot loser gun fetishist who thinks he scored a "gotcha".
It's Eric Swalwell who said that the war would be short because the government has nuclear weapons.

That's a loony statement, and provocative.

I'm not a "right wing gun nut"- I don't have a gun and I'm not a Republican.

Maybe you don't get out much and led a sheltered life. Try "you and 10,000,000 of your buddies." There is a reason Americans own 300,000,000 firearms. And they aren't all for duck hunting....

I know at this time this congressman's proposal won't get anywhere. HOWEVER if the democrats had a liberal president in office and controlled congress NO DOUBT they would pass a similar law, though they probably wouldn't offer so much money to buy back.

Is there any democrat on here that is going to dispute that? You know it's true.
